To all (whom tmay aoncem:

Be 'it known that I, Hnnnr M, WEAVER, a resident.

of Mansiield,.in the-county of Richland and State of Ohio, have :invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bath Waste and Overflow; and I` do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and yexact d e- My inv'entionrelates to an-irnproved bath Waste and overow', the object the invention ,beingto secure sanitary conditions, by, first, cutting ol from the outlet pipes thev water inthe tub and the water iskept out of Contact with any :foul surfaces and remains entirely pure; second, redncelthe fouling surfaces yto a ruini- .rriu-m, and. theeonstruction is lsuch that all parts are readilyA ace n cleaning, anlthird, I construct thcwaste s l'that thegoverllow pipe emptiesdirectly into thebody'ol Waste, simplifying the construction v and allowing. itto e kreduced. in size so that the whole littnggoesA M the contracted space between `the floor and" ottonr ofthe ub. l

Withthes'e and'otlier objectsy in yiew, the invention consists -i r|i `c ertain` ovelzieatures of construction and,

combinations arrangements of'parts es will' be inore fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claimsf f' i l In the accompanying drawingmigurel is a view in longitudinaland` vertical section illustratirigmy im? provernents., l Fig 2" is a ragmentaryview in end elevation 'of the tub showing my improvemenls thereon, and 1*`ig s.k3Y arevie'ws of a modification.

1representsvaxr ordinary tub, :having a Waste opening in its b ottonrnear one e d, and'aneverfiow opening in the end', inn enterior i I located Yin the wasteiopening, has ilangedfupper end e'tub" kicl is .ruedo with e beveled end S the sleeve land the fitting 4.@

The Iittingl 4, eornprises` a waste chanjiberemptying 'into a waste .pipe (5,.and has va tubular extension?, in which an operating` lever Bie movable. This lever 8 has a balluor'. sphere between its ends, vmounted in a soeket'formed. by tlieuend o i `tubular.extension 7 and a i tight cap 9 screwdthereon, and the inner end of the lever 8 is connected with thelower end 'of valve stem l0 oi valve 3, said stern liavingwebsll thereonv to guide its movements in sleeveZ. The itting 4 is also made with a second tubular extension l2, above extension 7,

and an overllowkrpipe 13l is'rrgonoected at its lower end with the extension l2`by a cap nut 14. The upper endV of pipe 13 iss-crewed into atubular elbow l5 and afbolt '16 clamps theend oi the tub between 'the eborfjl and a screen pleite .i7 on the inner face of the tub.

The elbow l5 ia madehiith au integral arm i8 having a guide opening for a vertical roll i9 connected at its lower .end to the outer end ol? lever S, ax 1d the upper end of rod,y 19, is provided with any suitable ornamental hand hold.

`It will be seen, that willi my improvements, the overflow empties into the we chamber the entire ittingvvill occupy but a small space and not disigure the tub, and. can he nranulac' ned. and. installed at smalleost and iur-ther it wil. be observed that the valve operating Ineens is supported solely by the iitting and Wllen the rod .is raised. l

In the modification shown in Figs. 3 and 4, a sepa= rate casting 2( fserves to connect the overflow pi'pe with the waste chamber, and this casting 20 is cast in to open z cylindrical form 2l et one end-to surround slerr've 2 and elnptiesl throughopenings 22 in the sides of, said sleeve, and issecurely clamped, between litting 4 and the bottorn ofthe tub.` The can ow or tubular to 'alloy st free flow of water and is incl med downward to ,i

' thoroughly drain into the wastechamber, and its outer end is Aprovided with a clamping collar 23 to secure the overflow pipe tereto.

VSlight changes night be made in the general orrnv and arrangement of the parts described without departing'from my invention, ami hence, l do not re,
